SECTION 44760-44763
44760. This chapter shall be known, and may be cited, as the "Teacher Incentive Program of 1990." 44761. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that various state and local agencies maintain data that is useful for determining the availability of teachers and other education professionals for service in elementary and secondary schools. The Legislature also finds that at the state level the available data has not been fully integrated and provided to a central reporting system capable of producing periodic reports of the supply and demand of teachers. The Legislature further finds and declares that the educational resources of the state could be managed most effectively if data related to known or anticipated shortages of educational personnel were available on a timely basis. 44762. The Commission on Teacher Credentialing, in cooperation with the State Department of Education, shall establish and maintain a comprehensive teacher supply and demand reporting system. Notwithstanding Section 22221, the Teachers' Retirement Board shall make information requested by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing available to the commission. The reporting system shall be designed to prepare annual reports on the availability of teachers and other certificated personnel according to the types of credentials and by geographic regions within the state. To the extent possible, the reporting system shall include data currently being collected and reported by state and local agencies. 44763. (a) Notwithstanding Title 1.8 (commencing with Section 1798) of Part 4 of Division 3 of the Civil Code or any other provision of law, each state and local government agency shall provide to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing personal information regarding teachers and other certificated personnel as requested by the commission for the purposes of Section 44762. (b) In accordance with the purpose of safeguarding the privacy rights of individuals, it is the intent of the Legislature that personal information be collected, maintained, and disseminated under this chapter only to the extent required to accomplish the purposes of Section 44762. The Commission on Teacher Credentialing shall establish and maintain specific and appropriate policies and practices that protect the privacy rights of individuals as to whom personal information has been received by the commission, and to otherwise implement the legislative intent set forth in this subdivision.
